  2. External jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_jugular_vein

    This vein receives the occipital occasionally, the posterior external jugular, and, near its termination, the transverse cervical, transverse scapular, and anterior jugular veins; in the substance of the parotid, a large branch of communication from the internal jugular joins it. The external jugular vein drains into the subclavian vein lateral ...

  3. Jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_vein

    The left and right external jugular veins drain into the subclavian veins. The internal jugular veins join with the subclavian veins more medially to form the brachiocephalic veins. Finally, the left and right brachiocephalic veins join to form the superior vena cava, which delivers deoxygenated blood to the right atrium of the heart. [2] The ...

  4. Jugular venous arch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jugular_venous_arch

    Just above the sternum the two anterior jugular veins communicate by a transverse trunk, the jugular venous arch (or venous jugular arch), which receive tributaries from the inferior thyroid veins; each also communicates with the internal jugular. There are no valves in this vein.

  5. Anterior jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anterior_jugular_vein

    Its tributaries are some laryngeal veins, and occasionally a small thyroid vein. [1] It descends between the median line and the anterior border of the sternocleidomastoid muscle , and, at the lower part of the neck, passes beneath that muscle to open into the termination of the external jugular vein , or, in some instances, into the subclavian ...

  6. Internal jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internal_jugular_vein

    The internal jugular vein is a paired jugular vein that collects blood from the brain and the superficial parts of the face and neck. This vein runs in the carotid sheath with the common carotid artery and vagus nerve. It begins in the posterior compartment of the jugular foramen, at the base of the skull.

  7. Sigmoid sinus - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigmoid_sinus

    The sigmoid sinus is a dural venous sinus situated within the dura mater.The sigmoid sinus receives blood from the transverse sinuses, which track the posterior wall of the cranial cavity, travels inferiorly along the parietal bone, temporal bone and occipital bone, and converges with the inferior petrosal sinuses to form the internal jugular vein.

  8. Posterior external jugular vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Posterior_external_jugular_vein

    The posterior external jugular vein begins in the occipital region and returns the blood from the skin and superficial muscles in the upper and back part of the neck, lying between the splenius and trapezius. It runs down the back part of the neck, and opens into the external jugular vein just below the middle of its course.

  9. Common facial vein - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_facial_vein

    The facial vein usually unites with the anterior branch of the retromandibular vein to form the common facial vein, which crosses the external carotid artery and enters the internal jugular vein at a variable point below the hyoid bone.
